Hello,
We're going to share the email template that is currently being sent to the company about the hairstyle so anyone who wants to reach out can use it as a reference.
The intention here is to raise awareness and educate the company about why this hairstyle can be considered culturally insensitive, not to send hate or negativity towards the company, the stylists, or any of the members.
Please keep your messages respectful and focus on explaining the issue rather than attacking anyone. We want our concerns to be taken seriously and handled appropriately.
EMAIL TEMPLATE
Please consider e-mailing the company on the teaser matter with the following english and korean versions :

SUBJECT : [ALL(H)OURS] ํ๋น ํค์ด์คํ์ผ ๊ด๋ จ ์์ ๋ฐ ํผ๋๋ฐฑ ์์ฒญ ๊ฑด / Request regarding ALL(H)OURS Hyunbin's hairstyling
Dear Eden Entertainment,
First of all, we would like to thank all the staff and executives at Eden Entertainment for your hard work and dedication toward ALL(H)OURSโ upcoming comeback.
We are writing this email to express our deep concern and request urgent action regarding member Hyunbin's hairstyle (braids) shown in the recent comeback teaser content.
This hairstyle carries deep cultural and historical significance for specific communities and cultures. Using this style can be perceived as cultural appropriation, and, apart from the significant criticism and backlash as the content spreads across global communities and social media, this case also portrays the lack of acknowledgement and understanding of certain cultural aspects that should be respected.
To respect every community but also protect the artist and ensure smooth, successful promotions, we respectfully request the following:
- Review and reshoot/edit teaser content: Please consider editing or reshooting the photos/videos featuring this hairstyle before wider distribution.โจ
- Change hairstyling for promotions and upcoming tour: Please ensure that this hairstyle is not used for Hyunbin during upcoming music show promotions, content filming, or the tour.โจ
- Internal education on cultural sensitivity: We kindly ask that the staff, styling team but also the members educate themselves regarding styling choices to respect all ethnicities, cultures, and religions, avoiding potential offensive choices in the future.โจ
We want ALL(H)OURS to receive the love and praise they deserve without unnecessary controversies. We hope for your prompt response and thoughtful action on this matter.
Sincerely,
MIN(UT)ES
